I did a checkout and perhaps there were there because I only see an
error during debian package building.

I found that manpages are not generated : "docs" directory is missing in
SUBDIRS in Makefile.am.
And a cosmetic thing: Makefile.am is named MakeFile.am in docs directory
(and in configure.in). Since we only used "Makefile" name in Tracker, I
prefer to rename concerned files now.
